It seems like your message was cut off. Could you please provide more details about your child maintenance tribunal case? Are you facing issues with the tribunal's decision, or is there another specific concern you need help with?
I have 28days to reply to the notice which is the following :
It sounds like you're dealing with a child maintenance tribunal case and need to respond to a notice within 28 days. Could you provide more details about the notice? For example, what specific issues are mentioned in the notice? This will help me give you more accurate information.
Miss Berdan, you are directed within 28 days to provide representations and evidence in respect of your wish to not only challenge the Secretary of State's decision of * March *, but decisions pre-dating this. In particular you must address why you did not bring previous Decisions in respect of Mr Upton's child maintenance liability to appeal, why this appeal is now effectively late (beyond limitation periods) and, if appropriate what are the exceptional circumstances in this case such that the Tribunal should waive usual limitation periods for bring appeals. You may wish to include evidence of your correspondence with the Child Maintenance Service back to the time you wish to appeal, which you say demonstrates that it had been your intention to appeal earlier, and why this should have been carried forwards. It is a matter for you, but there are procedural complexities to bringing late appeals to the Tribunal, on which you may wish to seek legal advice.
